Synopsis
Exploration of the universe has been commercialized. Want to go to the moon? Look for the best offer; sign in and enjoy your flight. Everybody can be an astronaut nowadays. The question is: does everybody wants to?
Inspiration:
Read about all those plans for travelling out of Earth's atmosphere. Mind you, those comapnies are not the least waiting in line to bring you into a higher sphere. And I realized, soon we all will be able to have a view at Earth from out of space. Given the fact you may have to bring a 'little money' of course. But, in theory, we can all become an astronaut. Do we know the effects? No. Do we want to know? Probably not. But I do know, that anyone able to go into space, eventually will. And I am convinced it will effect them.
